Hello all

In my corporate environment, users have "My Computer" and "My NEtwork Places" displayed in theirs start menu.

Now that i'm working on RIS, i'd like to know how i get to automated.

I've tried to copy the "shortcut" but t doesn't work. It seems like some link aren't created with this method.

This should look like this



[EDIT]After watching with Sysinternals File Monitor, it seems that the "shortcutcut" to one of those link to either "My computer/target.lnk" Opened the file with notepad and it's unreadable....[/EDIT]

Anyone can help me!

You might try monitoring the registry while you change the GUI options to add My Documents to the start menu.

That should get you the right registry key to start from, then I imagine its a matter of adding the CLSID or whatever it is that points to My Computer/My Network

Take a look at the following registry key;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

The two keys you refer to are

"Start_ShowMyComputer"
"Start_ShowNetPlaces"

But there are many others there you can add, remove or cascade.

REG_DWORD = 0x00000000 => Don't show
REG_DWORD = 0x00000001 => Show
REG_DWORD = 0x00000002 => Show cascaded

Hope this helps!

According to Winguides this tweaks works only on the Xp Start Menu.

Just to make sure it wasn't working, i tried it..... Doesn't work...

Seems like a couple tweaks doesnt work with "classic" start menu.

I'm having some problem to get the "small icons" in start menu too.

That was a nice try, thank you for helping me
